The Technology Department from JAAL

This section of the Electronic Classroom provides readers with online versions of the Technology department from the International Reading Association’s Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy. Columns are intended to promote dialogue about new communication and information technologies and explore what these media mean for literacy and literacy educators. Department editor Bertram Bruce invites readers’ comments and reactions, which should be addressed to chip@uiuc.edu or posted to Online Communities.

The following columns are now available in ROL and were posted simultaneous to their publication in JAAL:
